The Uncharted Seas: Rules for Fantasy Naval Combat

About this board game

The Uncharted Seas is a fast-paced fantasy naval combat game for 2–4 players, with games lasting around 90 minutes. Released in 2008, it puts players in command of fantastical squadrons of mighty warships in a high-fantasy world.

Choose a race and wage war using rules designed to be fast and easy to learn. Tactical naval combat is brought to life with superb resin and white metal miniatures, letting each fleet take to the seas with its own distinctive identity.

The game launched with four fantasy fleets: Orc Raiders, Iron Dwarfs, Dragon Lords, and Humans. It was later expanded with five additional races, providing more options for building battles and exploring the setting.

• Orc Raiders: grotesque machines of war and ruthless seafaring forces.
• Iron Dwarfs: steam-powered ironclads built for war.
• Dragon Lords: an ever-powerful race with an imposing presence.
• Humans: imperial forces determined to claim as much land as possible.
• Additional races: Sky Pirates, Ralgard, Bone Griffons, Shroud Mages, and Thaniras Elves.

The Uncharted Seas includes a full-colour, perfect-bound A4 rule book, or the newer hardback rulebook, along with eight decks of Game Cards containing 26 cards each. Downloadable files include full-colour Race Battlegroups and Ship Reference Cards, while vac-formed island scenery is also available.

Every Battlegroup also includes a free, full-colour, laminated deck of 26 Race Cards. With its accessible rules, varied fleets, and striking miniatures, this is a focused setting for players seeking dramatic fantasy fleet battles.
